Question by CL2710: What happens with the moon on the other side of the Earth where a solar eclipse is not occurring?
I want to know what happens with the moon during a solar eclipse, BUT on the side of the Earth where the eclipse is not occurring, for example if a solar eclipse is visible on North America, what happens in China, Europe, etc. with the moon, is there no moon, or what?
Thank you!
Best answer:
Answer by Geoff GThe Moon is in orbit around the Earth. During a solar eclipse it is between the Earth and the Sun. So there is no Sun or Moon on the other side of the Earth. There's nothing unusual about this -- it happens many times during the month.
